Analysis of CD cover

Girls Aloud are a British all female pop group. It consists of 5 girls Cheryl Cole, Kimberley Walsh, Sarah Harding, Nadine Coyle, and Nicola Roberts.
The title of this album is Tangled Up, which is clearly shown through the use of the rope tangled around the artists and the lettering.
From looking at this cover it is clear that their target audiences are young girls and middle aged women, however the genre of their music is not put across effectively and will not be known to the observer.
The CD cover is appealing to its audience because it almost seems that their a well known group for the title is grey on a dark background and is in capitals, big and bold therefore catches the audiences’ attention before the actual image does as the image is smaller than their group name.
The background of the CD is dark and ensure that the images as well as the title stand out a lot more. The body language and the way the girls are posing suggest that they are confident and are satisfied with their lifestyles.
The image is a long shot and so catches the artist’s full figure and not just headshots, which makes it easier to see whom the artist is.
